Ideally, this work is meant be distributed to people as how an edition of fine art prints finds its way to individual owners and how each stamp from one same sheet parcels out onto different envelopes.

The pulped pages-the viscera of the text-are caught by the metal frame and reconstituted into a sculptural artist book. One narrator, an aspiring young poet, who seeks to tell the story through journal notes spends his time stealing books and pursuing women. The two seem to spend more time scoring marijuana to sell than writing poetry. The novel is an account of the two elusive leaders of the visceral realism school of poetry and tracks their adventures in Mexico City and Europe.
